Harish Shankar to remake Siddharth’s Jigarthanda

It looks like director Harish Shankar, who hasn’t done a film post the debacle of
Duvvada Jagannadham, has finally zeroed in on his next project. We have learnt that he has been roped in to direct the remake of the Siddharth-starrer,
Jigarthanda.
The original, which deals with the equation between an aspiring filmmaker and a hardcore gangster ushered in a refreshing new change in Tamil cinema when it released in 2014. And now, Harish has decided to tell this story in his own style to the Telugu audience.

“The film continues to have a following among film enthusiasts. Yet, it remains a story that hasn’t reached many people. So Harish Shankar felt that he should take the onus of remaking the film. Though it will be a challenge to match up to the original, the director plans to add his touch to the story,” informs a source close to the director. Buzz is that actor Sharwanand is being considered to reprise Siddharth’s role in the original. “The filmmakers feel Sharwanand will be apt for the role, but nothing is finalised yet,” adds the source.
